The title says it all. And, because I’m incredibly sore (see #5) today, it hurts to even type. So, I’ll get right to it. 1. Saratoga National is gorgeous. No, beyond gorgeous. The staff is incredibly attentive and thinks of things to do for you before you can even thank them for the last thing […]

I am away from my computer right now. Remember that standard message on AOL Instant Messenger? Hilarious. Anyway, I’m playing in a golf tournament today, so I’ll be away from most things blog. I like to devote my full attention to the game. That’s not entirely true. I’ll probably tweet here and there, and maybe […]

I promised a love story — specifically, the love story between Vicky and Steven. I’m probably spelling their names wrong, like it could be Vicki and Stephen, Vickee and…Steeven, or Vicki and Stevin (?) — but I didn’t plan on writing about them so I didn’t ask.

I wish […]

In a second, I want you to close your eyes and picture someone you consider to be a DB. You know what a DB is. It rhymes with fooshtag. Ready? OK, go. Now, what does that person look like? Think of the personality characteristic(s) that lead you to believe they are a DB. It’s hard […]

Sorry this is pretty late. But, I do have some thoughts (on what I can remember anyway) from the Bachelorette finale. Bachelorette Ashley chose JP, the pushover, as her fiance. It came down to JP, who’s in construction in New York and Ben, a sommelier from Sonoma, California. I pretty much knew Ashley was going […]

Last night at the Def Leppard/Heart concert at SPAC, I saw a lady take a spill to the ground. As she was falling, she grabbed on to her friend’s tank top, snapping the strap. I watched as the friend tried to reattached her friend’s strap, but to no avail. Feeling absolutely terrible for the poor […]
